Comment: Bullying takes place everywhere such as in school, in neighborhoods, even on the streets. It is a problem because it is affecting too many kids in the nation. It is an issue because a lot of kids drop out of schools, commit suicides, or kill others, and it is starting to get really bad. There is cyber bullying, verbal bullying, physical bullying, sexual bullying and more. Once, a 11 year old boy tried to commit suicide after being bullied over being a fan of My Little Pony. Often times children are not accepted because of their differences.

Comment: Bullying is something that happens a lot. There are 4 types of bullying, verbal,
Non-verbal, cyber and physical bullying. When you are being bullied victims are often shy and tend to be physically weaker than the person who’s bullying them. For example if the bully calls you a name which is verbal bullying,the victim is most likely not to do anything about it the peer is taking its anger out on you which would make he/she the bully. Bullying can happen anywhere at any time. People can be bullied for various reasons, for example their height, looks, race or even just because someone wants to bully them. Being bullied is a big problem and can affect you a lot. Bullying can make you less confident or make you feel sad. Bullying is a big problem in our society today and it can affect anyone at any age.

Comment: I learned about forgiveness from Esperanza rising. Esperanza forgives Marta even though Marta was always mean to her. Esperanza helped Marta by disguising Marta look as a worker because there were immigration officers deporting strikers. Marta was a striker and if the immigration officers saw her, they would have taken her back to Aguascalientes. Marta would have been separated from her mother. Esperanza knew how it felt like to lose a parent because she lost her dad.I learned from Esperanza to always forgive others in tough times.

Comment: I learn about accepting others in Breaking Through. Laura accepts Francisco even though he is Mexican. In the book, Francisco tells Laura he is Mexican and Laura responds that it’s okay. She doesn’t care that his skin color is darker and that he is a different race. Her acceptance makes him very happy.

Comment: People bully because they lost someone, something happen in their life, or for fun. Verbal Bullying leads to Cyberbullying. To stop bullying, people speak up, fight back, or don’t respond to them. Cyberbullying is used the most. 5th- 8th students are sometimes bullied. For example, in “Tuesday of the Other June”, June spoke up to Other June after she was called names.

Comment: I learned that bullying is a widespread problem that can occur anywhere, but mostly is possible in school and among young people. There are three types of bullying and they are all very hurtful. Some types of bullying are defined by law as civil rights offenses. Some bullies are obvious: they are physically strong and are known for beating up the victims. Bystanders usually don't want to get involved anywhere in the situation. And the greater number the bystanders, the less of the chance that somebody will stop the bully and speak up.
Comment:I will be commenting to Guadalupe M.’s post. I read the book too and i agree! the book does show tolerance. That is a great example!

Comment:I agree with Nataly H.She said that it was good that Esperanza forgave Marta even though she was mean. This shows that Esperanza had good tolerance. I think everybody should act like this because people don't always mean what they do.People who are tolerant might have been bullied or bullied before. If you have been a bully you know why some people might do it.

Comment: I agree with you Alina W. Bullying is a big problem in different states or countries. So many people are bullied today. Verbal-bullying is used more often. That would lead to cyberbullying. That would lead to suicide.
